July 23, 2013 (Raleigh, N.C.) – On the Oval Culinary Creations, the first permanent, full-service dining establishment on Centennial Campus since its inception 25 years ago, is scheduled to open Wednesday, August 7, 2013 at 7:30 a.m.
On the Oval Culinary Creations — located in the new Wolf Ridge Apartment Complex — will feature four micro restaurants and a diner venue with early-morning and late-night access. The menu will include a wide variety of fresh-made entrees and sides, including comfort, low-fat, vegan and vegetarian options.
“On the Oval is going to dramatically transform Centennial Campus,” said Dennis Kekas, associate vice chancellor of the Centennial Campus Partnership Office. “It’s another important piece of our overall strategy to make the campus not only an innovation engine, but a true gathering place for people with big ideas and even bigger dreams. Kudos to NC State Dining for making it happen.”
Conveniently located near the College of Engineering, the College of Textiles and new Hunt Library, On the Oval will provide a much-needed and long-awaited solution to robust foodservice on Centennial Campus.
More than 400 guests can enjoy the indoor and outdoor seating areas, making it a hotspot for students, faculty, staff, corporate partners and campus visitors to relax and eat. The seating area has been designed to accommodate groups that want to collaborate over a meal. Groups can also reserve a private room for up to 25 guests to eat together.
On the Oval will offer the following choices:
Cold Fusion will be the place to stop for fresh sandwiches and wraps made with fresh breads, choice meats and cheeses, specialty salads and soups.
Fahrenheit will serve artisan pizza baked in a fire-deck oven, plus an ever-changing menu of rotisserie meats and fish, each served with a complementary side item.
Flash Point will feature authentic regional Asian flavors, including fresh-rolled sushi, noodle bowls with stir-fried meats, vegetables and tofu, customized with your favorite sauces and
condiments.
Newton’s Grill and Diner will have a menu of your favorite diner foods, including items hot from the grill menu, breakfast favorites, and more. You can look for Angus beef burgers, hand-cut fries, and signature grill specials. A separate, intimate seating area (Newton’s Diner) will have a separate entrance that will enable it to operate as its own venue for breakfast, late nights and weekends.
